Ever think you'd like to be in Beyonce's shoes? Maybe not after checking out this pair, named 'Irradiance' designed for Beyonce Knowles by JANTAMINIAN on display at a German museum.

The exhibition, 'Starker Auftritt: Experimentelles Schuh Design' (the title is a play
on words, as it means both 'Strong Appearance' and 'Strong Step',
coupled to 'Experimental Show Design') at the Grassi Museum on March 27,
2013 in Leipzig, Germany. The exhibition features over 200 pairs of
shoes, many of them designed for celebrities and which challenge
traditional notions of shoe design.
